# Chapter 88
|
|
1 O Lord, God of my salvation,
|
|
I cry out day and night before you.
|
|
2 Let my prayer come before you;
|
|
incline your ear to my cry!
|
|
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
|
|
and my life draws near to Sheol.
|
|
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
|
|
I am a man who has no strength,
|
|
5 like one set loose among the dead,
|
|
like the slain that lie in the grave,
|
|
like those whom you remember no more,
|
|
for they are cut off from your hand.
|
|
6 You have put me in the depths of the pit,
|
|
in the regions dark and deep.
|
|
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
|
|
and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah
|
|
8 You have caused my companions to shun me;
|
|
you have made me a horror to them.
|
|
I am shut in so that I cannot escape;
|
|
9 my eye grows dim through sorrow.
|
|
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
|
|
I spread out my hands to you.
|
|
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
|
|
Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
|
|
11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
|
|
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
|
|
12 Are your wonders known in the darkness,
|
|
or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
13 But I, O Lord, cry to you;
|
|
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
|
|
14 O Lord, why do you cast my soul away?
|
|
Why do you hide your face from me?
|
|
15 Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
|
|
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
|
|
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
|
|
your dreadful assaults destroy me.
|
|
17 They surround me like a flood all day long;
|
|
they close in on me together.
|
|
18 You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;
|
|
my companions have become darkness. |
